Keio ( (JP:9008) ) has issued an update.

Keio Corporation reported a 9.7% rise in operating revenue to ¥496.9 billion for the year ended March 31, 2026, but operating and ordinary profits declined modestly while net profit was broadly flat at ¥42.9 billion. Profitability ratios edged down despite higher sales, though total assets and net assets increased, and operating cash flow improved, indicating a more robust balance sheet.

The company raised its annual dividend to ¥110 per share for fiscal 2026 before a 5-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2026, and plans a post-split annual dividend equivalent to ¥22 for fiscal 2027, signaling a continued focus on shareholder returns. For the year to March 2027, Keio forecasts slight revenue growth but expects further pressure on margins, with operating and ordinary profit projected to fall, underscoring cost and earnings headwinds despite steady demand.
